in charlie and the chocolate factory (2005) (the best version imo b/c i saw it as a kid and the magic only works around then) a lady said that chocolate is an aphrodisiac and i’ve completely internalized that as true.
i hope it is, it sort of makes sense. people buy chocolates on valentines day
This question is kind of unanswerable. People don’t really hold misconceptions that they know to be misconceptions.
It’s possible, especially when it comes to things like luck or illusion. Most people know that magic isn’t real, but some still tend to fall back on magic as an explanation for a really good illusion.
There is a fine line between holding two beliefs that are in direct contradiction and understanding that something you want to be true is something that you also understand is a misconception, is my point.
